Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds with Boundary Which are Side-Pairings of Two Tetrahedra as Exteriors of Knotted Graphs in the 3-Sphere

Abstract

In this paper, we give a generalization of Ivanšić's method for hyperbolic 3-manifolds without boundary, which allows us to recognize if a hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary, given by an isometric sidepairing of two hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra, is the exterior of a knotted graph; i.e., it is the complement of a 1-manifold with isolated singularities embedded in S³, in which case we get the corresponding diagram of the knotted isotopy class of its boundary. Otherwise, we obtain that the corresponding 3-manifold with boundary is the exterior of a knotted graph embedded in some lens space. Finally, we apply this method to a noncompact 3-manifold with a totally geodesic surface boundary of genus 2.
